As I remember it, nvidia packs both -kernel and -glx in the same tarball. Follow their instructions. There are probably RPMs, too, but I've never checked that out. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Is it an environment variable or something int he packages you need to set? Sorry for the confusion - these were gentoo instructions. I believe that gentoo just downloads the *.run package and then installs it as two separate elements. The key to it is to get level 4496 (or perhaps 1 level lower). Anything prior to that won't work on the 2.6 kernels. Since gentoo packages everything automatically, I haven't really kept track of the alternative installation methods. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
